Hello All,

RE: SR 8606351808 - NMLOGMON (NMERR 79) prevents reboot on system out of
disc space!

A corner case problem has been identified with NMLOGMON which prevents
a system from booting.  This corner case is *zero* "AVAIL TO PERM SPACE"
disc space on the system disc (ldev 1).  The recovery from this problem
is a system install (reload) from tape backups.

This problem was introduced in patches NMSGDT1(6.5), NMSGDT2(7.0) &
NMSGDV1(7.5).

This problem is resolved in beta test patches NMSHD77 (6.5), NMSHD78
(7.0) & NMSHD79 (7.5).

You can contact the HP-Response Center to request the beta fixes for
SR 8606351808.

----------

An appropriate workaround to avoid this corner case problem is:

1) Monitor disc space utilization on LDEV 1 with discfree:

:discfree b
...
LDEV :     1 -- (MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET:MEMBER1)
...
 AVAIL TO TRANS SPACE :   26134240      AVAIL TO PERM SPACE :   23782464
...

2) Cleanup disc space by removing logging files or other files:

:file t;dev=tape
:store [log in to unmask],[log in to unmask];*T;show;purge

3) Verify results of the disc space cleanup by continuing to monitor
disc space utilization on LDEV 1 with discfree.Regards, James Hofmeister
